Vehicle Height (Vehicle Height Check)
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2018 Porsche Cayenne, 2017 Porsche Cayenne, 2016 Porsche Cayenne, 2015 Porsche Cayenne, and 2014 Porsche Cayenne. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- To check the height, position ready-to-drive vehicle (fully tanked with tire repair kit or spare wheel and tools) on a flat surface or on the measuring station. The normal vehicle level must be set for vehicles with air suspension. Please read Special notes for vehicles with air suspension under → 449503 SUSPENSION ALIGNMENT, COMPLETE
- To avoid level adjustment of the air suspension during alignment, switch off the levelling system using the Porsche System Tester and switch it back on again when the work is complete.
- Compress vehicle at front and rear axles by approximately 25 mm 2-3 times and allow it to spring back freely.
- Fit measured-value pickup Quick clamping device WE 1621 on the relevant wheel.
- Determine the height of the vehicle body at the measuring points.
- 5.1. When determining the height of the vehicle body, the height is measured from the lower edge of the wing to the upper edge of the measured-value pickup, dimension X .
- 5.2. Then add the radius
of the measured-value pickup 32.5 mm
to this measured dimension X.
Sample calculation:
Measured dimension X = 375 mm; measured-value pickup radius = 32.5 mm
X + measured-value pickup radius = height of vehicle body
375 mm + 32.5 mm = 407.5 mm
- Compare the vehicle height with the specified values → 4495TW ADJUSTMENT VALUES FOR SUSPENSION ALIGNMENT .
If vehicle height is not within the tolerance range for the specified values, the levelling system must be calibrated → 430115 CALIBRATING THE LEVELLING SYSTEM .
